Biology of the Dory Snapper, Lutjanus Fulviflamma (Forsskal, 1775) (pisces: Lut Janidae) from the Kenyan Inshore Marine waters
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
This study describes the biology of the dory snapper, Lutjanus
fulviflamma (Forsskal, 1775) in the Kenyan inshore marine waters on
an annual cycle between October, 1991 and September, 1992. The
results are based on 891 ...
Multicomponent polymers containing poly(lactic acid)
(1996)
Hydrophobic-hydrophilic copolymers containing poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were synthesized using three types of starting materials. The PLA macromonomers with methacrylate terminal functionality were synthesized from the cyclic ...
Mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) and associated entomofauna breeding in tree holes and artificial containers in three adjacent forests in Western Kenya
(1996)
Tree hole breeding mosquitoes and other associating arthropods were collected
from three adjacent forests in western Kenya to determine distribution and habitat
preferences. Immature stages were collected from natural ...
The Effects Of Ascorbic Acid On The Immune System Of The Guinea Pig (cavia Porcellus)
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
Three experiments were carried out to investigate
the effects of ascorbic acid on immunoglobulin levels,
on T-Cell function and on humoral response to viral
antigens using the guinea pig as a model.
These were done by ...
Metabolism Of Phosphoenolpyruvate Derived From Glucose Catabolism By Bloodstream Trypanosoma Congolense
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
The main purpose of this study was to establish the pathway(s) by which
PEP from glucose catabolism is catabolized, the end products formed in the
presence and absence of SHAM, the sul.ceinuar localisation of some ...

Energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry of light element matrices
(1996)
The utility of Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRfo) spectrometry has revealed
that accurate trace clement analysis in light clement matrices is limited by scattering and the
associated high background radiations; ...
Comparison Of The Efficacy Of Melia Volkensii (Gurke) Azadirachtin, Pyrethrum Plant Extracts, Cubex And Steladoner On Cattle Ticks, rhipicephalus Appendiculatus And Boophilus Decoloratus
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
The objectives of this study were to determine the toxicity of
M. volkensii plant extract on the larvae, nymphae and adult
Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks and to compare the effects with
those of the ticks treated ...
Use of short tandem repeats to describe genetic variability in Anopheles Gambiae from three countries in Africa.
(1996-01)
Macrogeographic variation in An. gambiae was measured by
analysing four polymorphic STR loci in four populations by
electrophoresis on horizontal slab polyacrylamide gels. Mosquitoes
were sampled from inland (Asembo) ...
